The International Cricket Council (ICC) granted the fixture international status,[6] with Lord's being selected as venue to host the match.[7] In March 2018, the ICC named Eoin Morgan as the captain of the World XI side.[8] The following month, Carlos Brathwaite was named as the captain of the West Indies team.[1] However, two days before the match, Morgan was ruled out of the fixture with a fractured finger,[9] and replaced as captain by Shahid Afridi.[10]

The West Indies won the one-off match by 72 runs.[11]

Shakib Al Hasan was originally named in the World XI team, but withdrew for personal reasons and was replaced with Sandeep Lamichhane.[17] Hardik Pandya was ruled out of the match with a viral illness, and was replaced by Mohammed Shami.[19] Eoin Morgan fractured a finger two days before the game, so had to withdraw from the squad [8][14] and was replaced by Sam Billings.[10] Sam Curran was added to the squad at the same time, but the next day was called up by the England team for their Test against Pakistan, which started the day after the Lord's game.[20]
